Laughing at Life
Woke up this morning in just the right mood to enjoy the silly interactions that being up early together with my lovely wife can bring about. It is interesting to discover how funny, old Saturday Night Live skits can be when revisited, decades later, by way of discovering you are living the scenes of which they were poking fun. This morning we found Gilda Radner and Bill Murray’s characters, Lisa Loopner and Todd DiLaBounta, materializing. I thought it was funny enough, until Cyndie pointed out that I was being Lisa, not Todd. Ha ha, that’s so funny.
Together we found ourselves remembering some difficult times of days gone by, raising children together, and from this distance of time, were laughing about things that were far from funny back then. Then there was some mention of sleeping long enough to heal our livers, …or not. Not sure if we accomplished that, but we seem to have rested our funny bones, because they were rarin’ to go this morning.
Mary's comment response... depicts it beautifully
Finding some of the stupidest things to laugh about can be such a treasure. And cultivating the ability to laugh together, the deep belly laugh that takes your breath away, can be such a priceless treasure. It is, indeed, a reward that can be earned for the work done to develop a long-term relationship; a healthy, growing relationship. All those tough times together finally produce this. Funny, isn’t it?
Relative Something 
It makes me giggle just remembering how hard we laughed at………..what was it???? We were playing a game, and the answer was “lager” and it’s pronunciation….I don’t even remember what the game was, I just remember total out of control laughter….for a long time…..MM
